I hear you guys...
Faith either makes sense to you or it doesn't. It has nothing to do with anyone's intelligence or lack thereof. It's either revealed to you through a myriad list of possible conduits, or it isn't.
Crouwel, I think our main point of separation, besides faith, is how we view right and wrong. Let's forget about the specific question of the death penalty for a second. You believe that right and wrong has been constantly evolving throughout human history, yes? Where I differ is that I believe right and wrong are concepts that exist independent from how we interpret them. I belief truth exists whether I like it or not. There are some truths that I even I have a hard time accepting...but at the end of the day I know that my acceptance does not affect their reality.
We did not make this world, and thus we cannot pretend to be authors of right or wrong. People have historically proven to be narrow minded, driven by whimsy and selfish gain (myself included, from time to time). I would rather die than hold my mind, my understanding of truth, up to the level of Creator. I would rather believe in something greater than myself, something that does not and will never fuck up. We are all subject to being wrong. I will not place my belief in something, person or group of people that is flawed at it's core.
